How do you pronounce...

[bjenkins24]

Gieseking... uh yeah   Every time I say his name out loud I feel like an idiot.  There's a few more names I'd like to ask but I can't remember right now.  If anyone has any other pronunciations they'd like help on feel free to ask in this thread

You are welcome , but where is there an "uh" sound? Me is slightly confused (hey Nils, where has the confused smiley gone?)

clodee-o arraw

I'd like to know how Richter sounds in russian. I've heard every possible pronunciation there is :O I allways end up by saying richter like you would read it in english but I'd be curious to know how it sounds in russian!

ri -chghhhhh- ter   - wait - wasn't richter german.

Richter was half German and half Russian I believe. The ch in Richter is a hard ch sound, not like the h sound in English. It almost sounds like you're hocking some mucus in the back of your throat. The linguistic term is a voiceless velar fricative.
